Look back, and thank Him; Look forward, and trust Him; look around, and serve Him; look within, and find Him.

Take a few minutes this morning and think through each statement above. As we remember what God has done for us in the past, gratitude & thanksgiving can’t help but rise up in us…for His purpose is always good. (Job 36:24-26) And as we look forward to our future… if our hope is in Him, we will be assured of a full life…or as Proverbs 23:18 tells us, “Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.” But while we’re still here on earth, we need to be an example of His hands and feet…or as Jesus said in Matthew 20:28, ” I came not to be served but to serve…” Finally, daily we need to look within ourselves as the Holy Spirit directs, corrects, and draws us nearer to the grace, wisdom, and love of the Father.
